To see Trump for who he really is — and record him as such — is to unveil the depravity at the root of White supremacy and, thus, White America. To record the ugliness at the core of Donald Trump’s election and the fact that, even if he loses, millions of Americans will have voted for him a second time, is to record the ugliness at the heart of America. And the wickedness of the White supremacy that keeps that heart pumping.

Fortunately, given the integration of a new record-keeping tool unknown to most less than a lifetime ago — the internet — history now has to contend with more record keepers than ever before.

As white men die, as their false historical narrative is brought into consciousness, less-than-accurate history will discover a long-overdue edit.
